auf'decked // Discover DJs With Us!

DJs are the backbone of our social-dance life. With this series, we want to make their work visible and audible online and give them a platform to showcase their personal style and musical interests in the form of dedicated playlists.

Discovered + On Decks = auf’Decked // FIND OUT MORE

You can find all auf’Decked playlists on IG HOP’s Spotify!

For even more playlists with music for practising, some of IG HOP’s history in video, etc. check out our Youtube channel!
